Information about Full Container (FCL)

When you want to ship large quantities of goods, it is best to book a full container. This is known as an FCL (Full Container Load). You don’t need to share space with others like LCL. It is a popular transport method: optimal transit time, less likely to damage your goods (as the container just contains your goods) and it’s more cost-effective. Of course there are also downsides: the transshipment is more complex and it can be a financial risk with a larger inventory. Departing from another port?
